A Tuesday afternoon storm brought scattered damage in the Capital Region, from a barn fire in Guilderland's southern section, to wind damage in East Greenbush.

Forecasters said some severe weather was expected later in the evening — following up the thunderstorm that brought heavy rain around 4 p.m.

"There is some severe weather coming in from western New York. It's hard to say right now how that will affect us," National Weather Service meteorologist John Quinlan said around 7 p.m.

By then, the rain had tapered a bit, the remnant of a storm that took down a tree in Fonda, ignited a barn on Gipps Road in Guilderland, north of the Voorheesville line, and knocked down wires in Saugerties, Quinlan said.

According to National Grid's website, 1,042 customers were without power in Rensselaer County at 5:30 p.m. Most blacked-out customers were in East Greenbush (615) and Schodack (409) while 147 lost power in Schenectady County and 275 in Albany County.
